The vibration galvanometer is suitable as a bridge detector because it

  • A.gives a deflection proportional to the square of the unbalance and so is very sensitive
  • B.can be used at any frequency from direct current up to several kilohertz
  • C.is sharply tuned to one frequency
  • D.responds to the mean value of the alternating unbalance current over each cycle

Answer: C

Its moving system is mechanically resonant at the supply frequency, so it answers strongly to the fundamental and hardly at all to harmonics or to noise at other frequencies. That selectivity gives a sharp null, but it also confines the instrument to power and low audio frequencies.
